Homemade Mazapanes covered in chocolate Which would you prefer: Classic peanut or almond vanilla cinnamon ?  Recipe(s) For toppings: * 1 bag  @hukitchen no sugar added  chocolate chips * handful of peanuts * flakey sea salt * Favorite @hukitchen chocolate bar, I love the almond butter and cashew butter bar! Peanut Mazapan:  Makes 6  * 1 cup roasted (unsalted) peanuts  * 1/4 cup powdered sugar  * pinch of salt (only if the peanuts are unsalted, if they're salted you wont need to add more salt) Almond vanilla cinnamon Mazapan  Makes 6  * 1 cup roasted (unsalted) almonds  * 1/4 cup powdered sugar  * 2 1/2 tablespoons avocado oil * 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste  * a couple dashes ground cinnamon * pinch of salt (only if the almonds are unsalted, if they're salted you wont need to add more salt) 1. In a food processor, add the peanuts and pulse several times until you get a powdered crumbly texture. *do not just blend, it's important to pulse to avoid making peanut butter*. (If using almonds, simply add in 2 1/2 tablespoons avocado oil & optional vanilla and cinnamon) . You know it's ready when you can grab a small amount and press between your fingers and it sticks together. 2. Transfer to a bowl then using a fine mesh strainer, add in powdered sugar and dust the peanuts (or almonds) with the sugar. Using your hands, Combine. 3. Grab about 2 tablespoons of the mixture then on a clean counter, use the palm of your hand to flatten into a 1/2 inch thickness, using a 2 inch circle cookie cutter, press into the mixture and remove the excess mixture and add it back to the remaining mazapan mixture. 4. Place the mazapan on a piece of wax paper and repeat with remaining mixture. 5. To a microwafe safe bowl, add the Hu chocolate chips. Add to microwave and heat for 30 seconds, mix, then heat again for 15 seconds, mix then repeat until the chocolate is perfectly melted. 6. gently lift a mazapan and dunk half (or full, do youuuu) into the melted chocolate then careful place back onto wax paper. While chocolate is still melty top with peanuts, salt or a piece of Hu chocolate bar.
